Indonesia will introduce its own credit card; Bank Indonesia (BI) will launch a physical government credit card through a soft launch this month, while the official launch is in May 2023.

The deputy governor of Bank Indonesia (BI) stated that according to the direction of president Jokowi, the domestic credit card does not use Mastercard or Visa as payment processing system.

So the system used is the Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional (National Payment Gateway - GPN) from Bank Indonesia. This payment transaction system that connects various banks is used for ATM and debit cards.

The remarkable thing is that one of the major drivers for using this system is to avoid a situation (as in Russia) where the payment systems can be disabled by foreign governments and companies.

It seems the card can also be used in Malaysia.

Bank Indonesia (BI) officially introduced and launched the Kartu Kredit Indonesia (KKI) for the retail and general consumer public yesterday so on August 17, 2026, coinciding with Indonesia's Independence Day.

So after the launch of the Government Credit Card (KKP Domestik) for state and government procurement in May ‘23, testing and overcoming the hurdles took more than 3 years. It is still a digital credit eh …. card* mainly for use with QRIS etc. Later they expect it will also become a physical plastic card with chip etc.

Eight banks support the rollout: BCA, Bank Mandiri, BNI, BRI, CIMB Niaga, PermataBank, Bank Mega, and Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI).



* Allo Bank also offers a digital-card-only but it’s a VISA credit card
